Some more PM3 notes

So Lisa is 14 and I've already gotten everything I need for the ending.

Stamina 569 / 500
Pride 325 / 300
Morality 531 / 500
Elegance 331 / 300
Courage 906 / 500
Trust 65 / 60

So I might save and see if I can go for the next ending up...? At the worst, I'll still get the Knight ending. Here's what I have and what I need for the General ending:

Stamina 569 / 700
Intelligence 120 / 500
Pride 325 / 500
Morality 531 / 500
Elegance 331 / 500
Courage 906 / 700*
Trust 65 / 60

Pride grows pretty slow, but I'm close enough. Morality can be boosted easily by going to church. Elegance... should be able to knock it up to 500 pretty easily.

Courage is supposed to stay under 999. I don't know how to LOWER Courage... lemme go check.

OK there doesn't seem to be any way to actually lower Courage... and I'm already at 906 (with no method to lower it, it's not a surprise it's so high...)

So I have to keep Courage down...

Martial Arts class is the only thing I've been doing that raises Courage, so I just gotta give that up. I still have to raise Pride, though, which I can do through School, while I raise my Intelligence... Stamina I will have to boost up through Farmwork only, which is a little scary, as it barely raises Stamina at all...

Dancing Class can increase Stamina but it also drops Morality. But I already have enough Morality, so I guess that's not terrible. I'll have to try out Dancing if I need Stamina desperately by the end...

I guess next step will be spamming School to see if I can get Intelligence up... take this one thing at a time and see how it goes. Just gotta remember NO MARTIAL ARTS. Well, I might have to do it if I do too much school, because I think I need to keep Martial Arts as my #1 most-visited class?

OK, I got Intell. up to 508. Morality is also at 615 somehow.

Here's what I have left to work on:

Stamina 585 / 700
Pride 390 / 500
Elegance 334 / 500
Courage 916 / 700*

Courage is rising?! I have no idea how. It's not her blood type, so maybe it's my occupation...? Let's hope it doesn't hit 999 by the end of the game... She's still only 14 years old, and it already rose by 10 out of nowhere.

If I have to redo this playthrough for General, I'm going to change over to Type AB blood type, as it gives a boost to Pride, and right now that seems to be the hardest thing to raise. It's barely above Elegance and I've been actively doing things that increase it (though farmwork also DECREASES it, sadly).

Next up is working on Dance class, which raises Stamina, Pride, and Elegance. But I'm not sure how much. We'll probably get decent boosts to Elegance, at least, I'd assume, but not sure how the other two will be affected.

Ah, I also need to check and see if I studied at School more than Martial Arts...

OK, I only went to school 17 times, and I've definitely been to MA 20+ times...

Time to DANCE, baby!!

OK, danced 15 or 16 times and I got my stats up...

Elegance 453 / 500
Courage 926 / 700*

That's all that's left to keep track of...! I should be able to get Elegance up through Etiquette Class... I do have to watch Pride going down because of Farm work, though... maybe I should switch to another job that doesn't lower any of my necessary stats...?

Looks like Tutor only lowers Vitality, which is not important and already high (846) and it raises easily through Chat so...

Time to Tutor and Etiquette...

OK Courage seems to go up 1 per month. It's at 927 now, and she just turned 16... so we have 24 months left to go. Looks like I should be fine.

Alright, a few Etiquettes later and I have all the stats I need. I guess just time to Tutor and Vacation until the ending...? Actually I might try just spamming Free Time... it will make her get fat but I don't think that will a problem for this ending...? I'll save before I try it.

Ah, it seems whatever she chooses to do in her free time will actually continue constantly until you stop it. Thankfully she chose to go for a walk, so stamina just constantly increases and stress decreases (this is literally the best possible random thing that could have happened hahaha). It also doesn't cost any money!

Oh... she randomly started going shopping :) this is weird lol. OK now she's choosing different things regularly. Before she was just walking a lot...? Shopping lowers Morality so that's not good... hopefully she doesn't shop it down too low. It's pretty high (650+) and we just need 500 though...

Shoppping also costs money and we're starting to run out ;;;;; Maybe I should not have just spammed free time hahaha.

OK I barely made it with enough money left, thanks to stipends coming in clutch lol.

And... General Ending Get!!!
